These crystals blocked his urethra & and cat had perineal urethrostomy surgery-widening opening of urethra. There are struvite/calcium oxalate and other crystals/stones. They get bigger in acidic/alkaline urine. Unfortunately MCat had calcium oxalate which is the difficult one.<br />I bought a pH test strips (online) to test cat's urine at home. Dr L recommended Nature Sunshine's Cranberry & Buchu which cat has to take for life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19945603.post-32942671407598886042010-08-05T18:01:16.949+08:002010-08-05T18:01:16.949+08:00Can kidney stones be removed in cats as easily as ...Can kidney stones be removed in cats as easily as in people?

Once they get an acute version, they will be classified as chronic even after recovery. And definitely meds daily.<br /><br />SubQ I am not so sure. XX was on subQ for a month in 2008 but she recovered well enough to be 100% hydrated daily until her relapse Jul 10 when she was subQ-ed for 3 straight days. She is now running around the house again.<br /><br />It is possible to bring down the BUN and creatinine to normal levels. We did it with XX and so can you. <br /><br />For the past 2 years, Xx's daily diet is at least 75% renal food and the rest non-renal food (wet food fish is her favorite). And no treats at all. Do you want to cook for Toro? I have a renal home cook diet from my vet. But I have not yet tried. If you want, I can mail you a copy.KXBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215821865859902946noreply@blogger.com
